Williams is remembered as easy going, compassionate and full of laughter. A man who stood up and fought for our country, like so many others still there.

"It's a worry everyday," Dishman said. "You wake up sometimes praying and prayers are what sometimes get you through it constantly. Having faith, but knowing that something does happen and could happen."

Williams' wake will be held on Thursday in Brooksville at 6 p.m.

The funeral will be noon Saturday at the Living Waters Worship Center in Ocala.
